UC1707-SP MOSFET driver IC is designed to provide fast transition and high peak currents required for the MOSFETs. Each driver features TTL compatible input thresholds, undervoltage lockout, thermal shutdown and low cross conduction, high-speed output circuitry. The peak current of each totem-pole output, whether source or sink is 1.5 A. However, on dual output versions as in UC1707-SP both of the outputs can be paralleled for 3-A peak current.
Push-Pull Transformer coupling – driving MOSFETs with transformer coupled winding.
The totem-pole outputs of the UC1707-SP can easily be configured for implementing the balanced transformer drive as shown in Figure 14. Output A and B are alternating now as the internal flip-flop is active and the output frequency is halved. When the UC1707-SP output goes high, the other is held low during the dead time between output pulses. With balanced operation, no coupling capacitor on the primary is necessary since there is no net DC in the primary. Schottky clamp diodes on the primary side and back to back Zener diodes on the secondary are necessary to minimize the overshoot caused by the ringing of the gate capacitance with circuit inductances.
The following waveforms refer to the application in Figure 14.
